Rock legend Jon Bon Jovi is teaming up with the New Jersey Lottery for a new $5 scratch-off game celebrating his deep ties to the Garden State.
The “Jersey Legend: Jon Bon Jovi” game is scheduled to hit stores statewide on October 5 and will feature prizes worth up to $200,000. Lottery officials said the ticket design will be revealed next month.
The partnership is expected to go beyond the scratch-off, with the state planning additional events and special initiatives connected to Bon Jovi in the coming months.
New Jersey Lottery Executive Director James Carey said the collaboration is a natural fit, noting that Bon Jovi has become closely associated with New Jersey and its culture.
Bon Jovi also shared his excitement about the partnership, saying New Jersey will always be home and holds many important memories from both his personal life and music career.
What Players Can Expect
- $5 scratch-off ticket
- Up to $200,000 in prizes
- Statewide launch on October 5

The collaboration comes several months after Bon Jovi's nonprofit community restaurant concept received recognition from the James Beard Foundation for its work helping feed people in need.
The new scratch-off is also the latest in the New Jersey Lottery's lineup of Garden State-themed games. Previous offerings have celebrated famous New Jersey figures, including Newark native and NBA star Shaquille O’Neal, as well as local favorites such as tomatoes, pizza, diners, beaches, and the New Jersey Turnpike.
For New Jersey lottery fans, this latest game adds a little rock 'n' roll to the state's scratch-off lineup.
